I was bored
NOTE! I'm only talking about setlists, not about the concerts itself. As we all know, band's mood and the audience have a great affection on the show.
NOTE2! I'm only talking about the shows me and Laura went to.

No. of different songs: 41
I think 41 different songs is quite a lot, but if you think it the other way round; we heard 15 songs in all the shows and 3 in all but one! That doesn't leave much space for setlist variation if they play 23 songs
BUT. If you only look at the UK shows, 21 songs were played in all the shows!!!!!!!!!!
Everyone saw that the shows were similar but I didn't even realise that they were that similar. But that says something that I began to know what to expect, I'd say 80 % of the time I knew what song was going to be next. And believe me, that's not a funny feeling in a rock show. In the UK, we heard 31 songs in total (but we have to thank London show for that).
In mainland Europe, 16 songs were played in all the shows and we heard 39 different songs in total. 16 regulars is still quite many but the other songs in the setlist varied a lot.
So, everyone can make their own conclusions
